CHSPU Holds Volunteer Fire Fighting Competitions

On September 11, the Volga stadium in Cheboksary became the venue of competitions between student voluntary fire brigades of I. Yakovlev Chuvash State Pedagogical University. 13 university teams took part in the event. Such competitions are held at the Pedagogical University for the seventh time.
The CHSPU President Professor Vladimir Ivanov and Head of the General Directorate of the Russian Ministry of Emergency Situations for the Chuvash Republic (chief state fire inspector of the Chuvash Republic) Stanislav Antonov greeted the participants of the competition in their opening speeches.
The competition included five stages. First, the students had to carry a “victim” out of a fire. Then they were supposed to lay out the fire hose correctly and to knock down a special target with a water jet. They only had a few seconds for each task. Not only did the students have to quickly perform the tasks, but also bear all technical requirements and rules in mind. The competitors also had to put out a flaming mannequin with a fire blanket. At the end of the competition, the participants wearing special firefighter gear and helmets had to put out a fire on a tray using a fire extinguisher.

The winners of the competition are:
1 place - team of the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics, 1 year
2 place - team of the Faculty of Physics and Mathematics, 2 year
3 place - the team of the Faculty of Physical Education, 1 year
